F1 The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price, rounded to the nearest cent. These shares were purchased in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $4.75 to $4.98, inclusive. The Reporting Person undertakes to provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares purchased at each separate price within the range set forth in this footnote.
F2 The Reporting Person received the LTIP Units pursuant to a grant from the Issuer under the Issuer's 2014 Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"). Such shares vest in three (3) substantially equal installments on the first three (3) anniversaries following the date of grant.
F3 Vested LTIP Units, upon achieving parity with Common Units (as defined below), are convertible into Common Units at the option of the Reporting Person. See Footnote 10 discussing the convertibility of Common Units.
F4 Neither the LTIP Units nor the Common Units have an expiration date.
F5 Class 2 Long-Term Incentive Partnership Units ("LTIP 2") in Ashford Hospitality Holdings LLC ("AHH") granted under the Plan. The LTIP 2s will vest on March 15, 2025, the third anniversary of the grant date on March 15, 2022. Each vested LTIP 2 can convert into a number of common limited partnership units of AHH ("Common Units"), based on the appreciation in a share of the Issuer's common stock over the issue price, but a vested LTIP 2 may only be so converted prior to the final conversion date of such LTIP 2.
